Paving the way for industry 4.0 maturity of construction enterprises: a state of the art review

Abstract

PurposeIndustry 4.0 is characterised by the exponential pace of technological innovations compelling organisations to transform or be displaced. Industry 4.0 transformation of construction enterprises lacks systematic guidance and notable earlier studies have utilised maturity models to map transformation of enterprises. This paper proposes a conceptual maturity model for construction enterprises for business scenarios leading to Industry 4.0.Design/methodology/approachThe requirements for designing maturity models, including comparison with existing models and scientifically documenting the design process, make Systematic Literature Reviews (SLR) appropriate. Two systematic literature reviews (SLRs) are conducted to shortlist a total of 95 papers, which are subjected to subsequent content analysis.FindingsThe first SLR identifies the following process categories as critical levers of industry 4.0 maturity; data management, people and culture, leadership and strategy, collaboration and communication, automation, innovation and change management. The second SLR ascertains that the existing maturity models in construction literature do not adequately correspond to Industry 4.0 business scenarios with limited emphasis on data management, automation, change management and innovation. The findings are assimilated to propose a conceptual Smart Modern Construction Enterprise Maturity Model (SMCeMM).Originality/valueThe paper systematises the transformation of construction enterprises in Industry 4.0 and leads to state-of-the-art development of Industry 4.0 and maturity model research in construction. The proposed conceptual model addressed both the demands of the construction industry as well as what is required to navigate Industry 4.0 better.

Determining Decision-Making Factors for Technology Adoption in the Construction Industry

“…Another notable notice is change culture being a common factor that was extensively investigated. Several studies regarding innovation have highlighted the importance of organizational culture and the role it plays in successfully selecting and implementing technologies; such a culture should promote openness, adaptability, and receptiveness to change, foster a supportive and innovative environment, and create a culture that embraces change within the organization by incentivizing and supporting new technology efforts, building multidisciplinary teams, celebrating progress, and addressing resistance and concerns [148][149][150]. Innovation should also be fostered in the organization's core beliefs, behaviors, and practices such as active innovation champions, innovation training, technology watch, and knowledge management [150,151].…”

Towards Construction Safety Management Maturity Model in the Industry 4.0 Era: A State-of-the-Art Review

“…Following a thorough evaluation of extracted papers, 26 papers were excluded based on the content of abstracts, as they were identified as irrelevant to the scope of the research. Then, a content analysis approach was employed to categorize highly interconnected terms, relying on researchers' semantic comprehension, to identify the various dimensions associated with them (Das et al, 2022). Due to the absence of a universally accepted definition of Industry 4.0, there is often a reliance on related terms to describe this paradigm (Das et al, 2022).…”

“…Then, a content analysis approach was employed to categorize highly interconnected terms, relying on researchers' semantic comprehension, to identify the various dimensions associated with them (Das et al, 2022). Due to the absence of a universally accepted definition of Industry 4.0, there is often a reliance on related terms to describe this paradigm (Das et al, 2022). Incorporating the keywords associated with each Industry 4.0 technology in the search led to a significant increase in the number of articles retrieved.…”

Transformação Digital Na Indústria Da Construção: Proposta De Modelo De Maturidade Entre Indústria 4.0 E Construção Enxuta

“…No entanto, a transformação digital da Indústria 4.0 associada as práticas e princípios do Lean necessita de direcionamento sistemático, como estruturas de avaliação, modelos de maturidade, e guias (HAMZEH et al, 2021;DAS et al 2022).…”

“…No contexto da Construção 4.0, segundo Das et al (2022), modelos de maturidade se mostram escassos na literatura. Ribeiro et al (2022) considera que é uma contribuição prática o desenvolvimento de instrumentos de avaliação em relação ao grau de prontidão para a transformação digital.…”
